The Arcus Foundation works around the globe in two areas—human rights and conservation. Within those areas, we focus our work on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) rights and preservation of the world’s great apes and their habitat. By focusing our efforts in this way, we can use our resources to achieve an impact in each of two critically important yet under-funded areas.
Mission
The mission of the Arcus Foundation is to achieve social justice that is inclusive of
sexual orientation, gender identity and race, and to ensure conservation and respect
of the great apes.
